Hey! =) People tell me I give really good advice, so yeah, just ask me anything, as long as its a serious question, and I'll do my best to help you out. Um, I play piano, sing, dance, run track, and paint so if you have a question on one of those topics I'd definetly be able to answer it =). I mostly listen alternative or rock music but I like all kinds of music for the most part. The Used, Something Corporate, Brand New, Jack's Mannequin, Taking Back Sunday, Incubus, Matchbook Romance, Bayside, Bright Eyes, Hidden In Plain View, Dashboard Confessional, American Hi-Fi, Straylight Run, My Chemical Romance, The Academy Is, The Beatles Red Hot Chili Peppers, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Rooney are freaking awesome bands =).If you have a question about song lyrics,(for example "I know song lyrics but I don't know what the song is") I recommend you go to letssingit.com =).

Okay... well I'm not trying to get any religious views, or have anyone change my mind or anything like that... but I've always had a hard time figuring out what to believe in. I went to a Catholic school when I was younger [only cause it was right down my street though, haha] and neither of my parents are very religious... infact, they hardly are at all. But I never know what to believe. Like, I don't want to not believe in God... cause if there even is a "Hell" I don't want to go there and burn for all of eternity haha. Now, I don't really think there is [well I'm not even sure what to believe... there's so much I can learn about] but what if there is? I'll never know for sure. So basically, I'm just always worrying about things like that and I never know what to think =/ now don't like, try to call me stupid and naiive or anything, cause it's not my fault that there's 9857285 religons. Usually I just try to live my life being a good person... cause there's really no religon that looks donw upon that... That's what my mom always says anyway. "If there is a God or a whatever, as long as I spend my life being a good person, I'll be fine" So that's what I try to live by. [religon-wise]. What do you think?
I wonder the same thing all the time, actually. But I agree with what you're doing; it's great to just live life being respectful of others' beliefs and just trying to be a good person. Some religions, like Christianity, follow the principles of believing in certain things to get into heaven... but that doesn't mean that you have to necessarily believe in that to get into heaven. Like you, I was raised to believe that I should just be a good person and pick a religion to follow if I really wanted to, and just being a good person is fine with me because I don't really know what I believe in at this point in my life lol. I mean, there are plently of people out there that are religious and do good things for other people, but there are also people who claim to be "religious" but are just intolerant of others and are trying to force other people to believe what they believe religion-wise, if that makes sense, haha. What I'm saying is, everybody has different beliefs. Like you said, there are many, many religions, so maybe you'd be interested in researching and learning about different religion. I know some colleges offer courses about the origins of certain religions and stuff like that, so maybe when you get older and you're still interested you could look into that. So maybe look into it and see what you believe in, but there's nothing wrong with what you're doing right now; it's great that you're living your life as a good person. =) Sorry if I rambled; your question was really interesting to answer!
(Rating: 5) lol thanks! i wish i could make up my own religon haha. but i bet that's what half the 'founders' of the religons did.. like, i doubt all of that bible stuff happened.. someone just wanted to make a religon, or something for people to follow, and something to make people feel comforted.. i saw someone answer a question about religon yesterday [which actually sparked me to write this question] and she said 'i go to God when i need comfort' and i was like EXACTLY. God was created for poeple to feel loved and comforted.. i think it's all pretty redic haha. but thanks for answering! your answer was great =]
